<h2>Specifications</h2>
<p>
	This package provides mapper objects for mapping JNDI data sources to

<p> 
	 Each input map may contain a special attribute, the <em>Distinguished Name</em> or DN for short.
	 This attribute is never mapped to an attribute in the source 
	 may be used for variable susbtitutions in queries. This DN should 
	 always be used as relative to the base DN of the source the mapper is 
	 based on.
